aurie !!!

hey guys !!!!

Kon had already said too much, and he’s vaguely aware of the grave he’s dug for himself, but he can’t stop from continuing on.

Tim already knows. Kon has already said it. His life was already basically over, anyways. What more could it hurt?

“Not that it matters, much. You’ve been in love with Bernard for months now, haven’t you? Even if I’d said something sooner, it’s not like it would have mattered.”

He says it with a bite that he can’t quite disguise. It has been far too long. Something within him begs to know the answer.

Tim is quiet. He doesn’t respond. Kon thinks he might throw up. He can’t stop the words from continuing to pour out.

“Nothing could have gotten you to give up that spell of love.”

“I would have, maybe, once. For you, I would have.”

“I loved you, Tim. I still do.”

“I know.”

Kon is absolutely still. Neither of them say another word. The admission hangs in the air between them. Neither speak of it.

Bruce:

Dick:

He’s always been invested in video games — especially story games. He loves dissecting them and solving the mysteries; something about his detective instinct. He just has so many theories, and the people need to know about them, right?

So he starts a YouTube channel. He goes through hundreds of games, sharing his ideas, and starts to gain a following after a little bit because people realize holy shit this actually makes WAY more sense, damn it is this guy a genius?

He goes through and analyzes everything and spends hours on his videos. Most of his non-Robin-related free time is spent on his channel. He doesn’t show his face in his videos, hide his name, and his voice is unplaceable enough that he just leaves it as is.

No one finds it, and he doesn’t really think to bring it up, because to him it’s just some side hobby. Until one day, of course, Bruce, who is just doing routine checks on the batkids’ internet activities, happens to come across this channel. His immediate reaction is to make sure Tim hasn’t given anything away, which of course he hasn’t, so he doesn’t think to bring it up until Bruce mentions a new video he posted at dinner one day.

Dick freaks out. “Holy shit, that’s you??? I used to LOVE those videos.“ Steph laughs at him and is like, “seriously?? You guys didn’t know?” Damian groans about how “Jon loves that channel,” and he just KNEW he had a reason to dislike it. Duke was actively watching one of the videos and is now desperately trying to hide his phone. Cass doesn’t know what YouTube is. Jason could not give less of a fuck. Everyone is screaming.

But I raise you two new revolutionary duos:

AAHHHH okay okay so quite honestly

It changes lowkey like every single day, I’ve currently been really into the flash family (Wally West MY GOAT) but of course there is also the obligatory Kon-El Kent Superboy

ALSO it depends on if I’m writing them too, because for example I LOVE ME SOME GOOD TIMKON (Tim Drake is also for sure one of my favs), but I can get down to some Superbat too

Sure, maybe they got off to a rocky start. Maybe they fight, because that’s just what siblings do. Maybe sometimes they’ll just get into arguments that seem so pointless and Clark will be sitting there with his head in his hands because what even is the point anymore? He’s not quite sure

But the next day, maybe even a few hours later, Jon will be sitting at the kitchen table with tears in his eyes because seriously, how then hell does math work? And Kon, who maybe has inherited just a little bit of Lex Luthor’s quick wit, will throw a hand on his shoulder and pull up a chair and they’ll work it out together.

Maybe, Kon will take him out for ice cream. He’ll hoist Jon up into his shoulders and the boy will be smiling madly and they’ll lift off (not that they both don’t know Jon can fully well fly himself over by himself).

Jon will sit there and listen to Kon rant about Tim for hours. He offers vague encouragement, trying not to think too hard about how weird it is that yeah, his brother is in love with his best friend’s brother. But that means the prospect of being brother-in-laws, which Jon loves, so maybe it’s okay. He says he’ll give Tim a Super Version of the shovel talk once that FINALLY get together, and Kon will sigh disdainfully to hide his beaming.
